ABSTRACT:
A one-way includes a drag strip between a retainer and a driver ring to ensure transmission of rotation of the driver ring to engagement members such as sprags even when the driver ring is abruptly accelerated or is driven at a high speed. The drag strip has a sliding main body which, after assembly of the drag strip in the one-way clutch, is maintained in contact with the driver ring. The drag strip also has a hanger which extends at a right angle from at least one of opposite ends of the sliding main body into an engagement-member-receiving window of the retainer. On a side edge of the drag strip, where the drag strip is normally maintained in contact with an edge of the engagement-member-receiving window of the inner retainer, the drag strip has an engagement portion engageable with the edge the engagement-member-receiving window. The engagement portion is located in the same plane as the side edge of the hanger. The hanger is maintained in engagement with the retainer by the engagement portion.
